My family got 3 strange ph calls asking for my hubby

[The_dip_sticks 0]

Ok as you all know things indicate that our petition got stuck in AR at USCIS. Well today I go to my parents home and my borther told me that 3 different people called today asking for my husband. They said hello is so and so there? and my brother just said nah man hes not here. He said they called 3 different times from strange numbers and I checked the area codes one is from Phoenix and the other Massachusetts and another call was unknown. They never left names or a message. They would just say ok Thank you and that was it. Why would any one call my parents home phone number asking for my husband? Hes never given that number out neither have I. I never listed the number in the applications. Then I told my brother why didnt you just tell them to call him in his home in London because thats where he lives and my brother said well... I figured that when I said hes not here they would understand that he just is not here at all. And he also said he did not know who these people were and was not going to be giving out personal information. Has any one ever heard of this? My brother said the people who called at different times asked the same exact question and he gave them the same exact answer and then they would say thank you hang up.

Did you try calling the numbers?

Maybe you should have your husband call them from his home with a 'question' so that if it was them. They could see that he's in London.

Thats really strange you see hes never lived here in the states just visted. And he has no accounts what so ever. The other number is strange too. They should know that he is in the uk. why dont they call there. Or even call me but why parents LOL???? and how did they get the number? Maybe they just looked it up since lived with them for years till I was off to collage. I listed my family address as on of the places where I have lived.

Maybe you should ask your husband if he owes someone in the US money and if he provided your parent's address as his address? If the answer is no, why not call the debt collection agency directly and ask them what is going on?

[The_dip_sticks 0]

Yeah totally bogus. I wonder if they just generate random numbers. Thanks every one for your replys

Yeah I did that. hes ss confused as me. No he said he does not owe no money to any one in the states. And never given family details out. I guess he can call tomorrow and find out. Its just strange how all the calls had random phone numbers. And when you look them up they have nothig to do with each other. Thats just so strange my first thought was that since we are in further review they want to verify where my husband is? I mean hello he was excluded and the petions have all his details in lonon. LOL why not just save the hassel and call there.

Hm, it does sound like debt collection tracers. They can find anyone. And their tracers are probably in India.

I have experience with this. When I was in Ireland during college, some debt collectors called pretty much everyone in my family looking for me. My dad called them and asked what it was about, but they said they could talk only to me and that I couldn't call them. WEIRD. Finally my dad got them to agree to let him pay them for me. It shows up on my credit, so I'm sure it was legit. I still have NO IDEA what it was for as I've never been delinquent on a bill.

Also I used to live with 2 debt collection skip tracers in Brazil. They were outsourced labor.

Well if your hubby is sure then maybe someone used your hubby's name. Try asking around and see if anyone confesses.

This has been done to me by my family so you just never know.

[kitkat1 5]

It's not all that strange that the numbers are so different - debt collectors have lots of "tricks" and it's not very difficult to block the identity of a phone number or have their people call from different locations across the country. I can't imagine how it's related in any way to his petition. Why don't YOU call the number in MA tomorrow and ask them why they are asking for your husband at your parent's house? Seems a little easier than having him call international.

Alex - how could your father have paid for something that you couldn't verify was yours especially if you have never been delinquent on a bill? Very confusing

Thanks for the advice will follow up tomorrow.

I am still, to this day, completely puzzled. They said they couldn't disclose what the bill was for. (Could this be so friends can't warn the bill-skipping person?)

My best guess is that I at one time could have gotten a parking ticket, and that the parking ticket blew off my windshield or something. Because I did park illegally once because I lost my car keys at a party and had to leave my car where it was til morning. (Obviously, I spent time racking my brain to come up with this... the car I was driving in college wasn't even in my name; it was in my parents'.) My dad just gave them money for me and they were happy, and I paid him back when I got home. My credit report nevertheless lists a 60+ day late pay around that time... I guess I will never know. It didn't harm my credit score that much anyway.

Well I know this is long after the fact so of course it doesn't matter, but I can't see how someone can be forced to pay a bill that some debt collector says you owe without them telling you WHO you owe. After all, without that information, they could threaten you for bills that are not really yours. I mean, if someone called me and said I owed them money and I was not aware of any outstanding bill, I wouldn't agree to pay them until they gave me that information so I could confirm and verify that it was my bill!!!

Yeah, me too. I kind of left it up to my dad to handle because when it was happening I was in the middle of this trip to Northern Ireland with limited access to the internet. I'm still foggy on the facts and my dad does not have the best memory. I'm sure he must have had some reason to pay, since he's not stupid or anything. I just don't know quite what it was.
